Project Summary

This was a tutorial project I played around with, where I wanted to do my best to touch up the visuals and aesthetic as much as I could, without overly worrying about the gameplay aspect, and getting use to animation system in Godot and using spriteframes. I like games with a more retro looking or pixelated aesthetic and want to try and use more visuals like it in future projects.

I want to make more projects like this , for games with more complex mechanics.

The game will technically run forever until you lose all your lives, though the enemies don't get any more difficult.  And it's free so enjoy!

Assets Used

  • Images were generated using free generators by  Deep-Fold.io
  • Ambient music for start menu and main game scene are from a free pack made by null lofi
  • This game was built using Godot 4.3
  • Explosion and Shooting effects are from a tutorial pack from GameDev.tv.

FeedBack and Support

If you'd like to see more from this project, support work on different projects or report bugs you've found, feedback is always welcome as I'm trying to improve as a developer.
